    My last pay settlement said 6144 miles, but that was in 12 days because I took 2 days off.

    Thinking of coming back otr. This nyc run ever other day is draining. And so ready to turn in this lease truck. The headache of owner operators is true. Cost me shy of 200 dollars in tolls every time I go to nyc and have to go back down the jersey turnpike and Delaware bridge :mad:
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    5 months since the buyout and I’m still overwhelmed with miles. Nothing in my life with this knight buyout is any different today as it was pre 3/16/18. They have a few different people inside, but operations is the same as drivers, at times a revolving door. Hope this helps you out.
     
    Redtwin and Lonesome Thank this.

    Well this is a first. I misread my load assignment from Oceanside. It reads to deliver 11pm on the 19th, I’ll be delivering it 7pm tonight, 2+ days early. Oh well, nothing like running 5500 miles in 5 days.
     
    Silverdriver, Redtwin and Lonesome Thank this.

    $26 an hour, 208 per day, roughly 52,000 per year, paid for all of your time home everyday vs OTR expense, showering in a public shower trying to find a place to park for the night.

    Did any solo drivers get this?. I can't find the email from HR laying out the bonus plan (or was it on the QC?). This last settlement didnt look any different, certainly wasn't anything extra as far as a bonus on there.
     
    Silverdriver Thanks this.
